Grand Reunion Weekend is Here!

Friday, Oct. 7, 2011

After the rain comes the sunshine...and the promise of a wonderful Grand Reunion! The welcome banners are all hung, balloons are swaying gracefully in the wind outside of Donohoe Alumni House, and the entire campus stands ready to welcome all of the alumni who are coming home to Santa Clara for the weekend.

Make sure to stop by Donohoe Alumni House to check-in and receive your name tag before proceeding to the events of the weekend. We are open from 9 AM to 7 PM today, and from 8 AM to 6 PM tomorrow, Saturday, October 8. If you're planning to head straight to your class dinner Saturday night, do not worry; you can check-in on site.

Want to stay abreast of the events of the weekend? With 60+ events, it's hard to keep track of everything in your head. That's why we have printed schedules available in Donohoe, but why walk around with a piece of paper in your hand when you can access all of the necessary information on your smart phone? Visit m.scu.edu/reunions on your mobile device to view the event and shuttle schedules, campus map, and information about parking. There's even a weather page.

For those of you who need to stay connected via your laptops or other web-ready devices, we are pleased to offer wireless access to all Grand Reunion attendees. To connect to the University's network, log-in using SSID "SCUGrandReunion", and enter the password "Welcome2011".

Also, for a fun way to explore campus, we are offering something new this year: a SCVNGR trek! SCVNGR is an online game that takes you places and gives you fun challenges to complete. Rediscover Santa Clara and come away with a prize!

We are very excited to welcome the thousands of alumni, family, and friends who will be lighting up the campus with their collective presence this weekend. We hope this will truly be a Grand Reunion to remember!
